[GrowData Vineyard | Setup](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-vineyard?hsLang=en#growdata-vineyard-setup) # 1.09 Vineyard Employees & Contractors Setup ## Create Employees and Contractors to associate with activities on the vineyard Anyone who will be completing jobs on the blocks such as spray or fertigation activities, will need to be created as an Employee. When creating an Employee, be sure to enter their first and last name. If you're wanting to track costs, enter a default hourly rate. Below is an example with mandatory fields highlighted in red, and fields in blue may be relevant in some circumstances. All other fields are optional and do not flow into other areas of the program. ![](https://support.growdata.com.au/hubfs/image-png-Jan-11-2023-03-44-25-4619-AM.png) --- **What if I'm not tracking Employee or Contractor costs in GrowData? ** If this is the case, simply leave the default hourly rate blank. **What if I don't want to put exact hourly rates in? ** That's absolutely fine, in fact we recommend keeping it simple and putting in an average hourly rate for an operator. This way, you don't need to have everyone's exact rates in the setup, and your reports will show the same hourly rate regardless of who did the job.  Generally, GrowData isn't used for Time & Attendance or Payroll, it's simply tracking indicative costs to run your farm (labour, machinery & materials). **Who can see hourly rates? ** Only your users will have full access to the back office program. Mobile users will not see any rates, nor will back office users with restricted access. If in doubt on who-can-see-what in your database, reach out to our Grower Success Team for confirmation. - [Ops: Next Generation](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/ops-next-generation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Setup](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/ops-next-generation?hsLang=en#setup) - [Chemical Applications](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/ops-next-generation?hsLang=en#chemical-applications) - [Inventory Management](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/ops-next-generation?hsLang=en#inventory-management) - [Release Updates](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/ops-next-generation?hsLang=en#release-updates) - [GrowData Ops (For Orchards)](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-orchards?hsLang=en#main-content) - [GrowData Orchard | Setup](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-orchards?hsLang=en#growdata-orchard-setup) - [GrowData Orchard | Enter Data](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-orchards?hsLang=en#growdata-orchard-enter-data) - [GrowData Orchard | Reports & Queries](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-orchards?hsLang=en#growdata-orchard-reports-queries) - [GrowData Orchard | Optional Extras](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-orchards?hsLang=en#growdata-orchard-optional-extras) - [Product Update Notices](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-orchards?hsLang=en#product-update-notices) - [GrowData Ops (For Vineyard)](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-vineyard?hsLang=en#main-content) - [GrowData Vineyard | Setup](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-vineyard?hsLang=en#growdata-vineyard-setup) - [GrowData Vineyard | Enter Data](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-vineyard?hsLang=en#growdata-vineyard-enter-data) - [Product Update Notices](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-ops-for-vineyard?hsLang=en#product-update-notices) - [GrowData Spray Instructions App](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-spray-instructions-app?hsLang=en) - [GrowData Harvest App](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-harvest-app?hsLang=en) - [GrowData Stock Receivals Program](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-stock-receivals-program?hsLang=en) - [GrowData Track-Asset](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-track-asset?hsLang=en) - [GrowData Scout App](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-scout-app?hsLang=en) - [GrowData Irrigate](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-irrigate?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Release Notifications](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-irrigate?hsLang=en#release-notifications) - [GrowData Irrigate | Setup](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-irrigate?hsLang=en#growdata-irrigate-setup) - [News & Updates](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/news-updates?hsLang=en) - [GrowData Track-Yield](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-track-yield?hsLang=en) - [GrowData Weather Stations](https://support.growdata.com.au/knowledge/growdata-weather-stations?hsLang=en) [![](https://support.growdata.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/logos-04.png?width=925&height=1009&name=logos-04.png)](http://www.growdata.com.au) www.growdata.com.au Help Centre Copyright © 2026, InformAG | GrowData
